Abstract
Preeclampsia is the most common and serious complication of pregnancy. Variants of Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) as a key player in the regulation of oxidant/antioxidant signaling pathways might be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. In the present case-control study 300 women with and without preeclampsia were studied for SIRT1 variants (rs7895833, rs7069102, and rs2273773) and haplotypes. Also, the relationship of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and Zn, Cu, and Se levels to the polymorphisms were investigated. The SIRT1 rs7895833 A > G, rs7069102 C > G, and the rs2273773 C > T polymorphisms were associated with the risk of preeclampsia. We found the haplotypes G (rs7895833) C (rs7069102) C (rs2273773), GCC, and ACC compared to the AGT decreased the risk of preeclampsia. The risk haplotype of AGT was associated with higher GPx activity compared to the GCC haplotype. A significantly higher level of Cu and lower levels of Zn and Se in patients with preeclampsia compared to controls were detected. Also, a significantly lower SOD and higher GPx activity in preeclamptic patients compared to controls were found. The three risk genotypes of AA (rs7895833), GG (rs7069102), and TT (rs2273773) significantly decreased the Zn level and SOD activity, and the TT genotype (rs2273773) increased the Cu level in all studied women. The presence of rs7069102 polymorphism was associated with enhanced systolic blood pressure. For the first time, we indicated three SIRT1 polymorphisms and the AGT haplotype are risk factors for preeclampsia development. Also, SIRT1 variants and haplotypes affect the levels of antioxidant enzymes and their cofactors, complicating the pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the complications of pregnancy. The pathogenesis of PE has not been completely understood. The aims of the present study were to investigate the role of Keap1 (rs11085735) variants and the methylation status of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MEG3 in the risk of PE.
Methods
In a case–control study, 150 pregnant women, including 75 PE patients and 75 healthy pregnant women recruited from Western Iran with Kurdish ethnic background, were studied for Keap1 variants using polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The methylation status of lncRNA MEG3 was investigated using methylation-specific PCR (MSP) among 50 preeclamptic patients and 50 controls.
Results
The frequency of Keap1 A allele was significantly lower (5.3%) in preeclamptic patients compared to controls (12.7%, p = 0.024). The frequencies of hemimethylated (UM) and full methylated (MM) lncRNA MEG3 were 94 and 6% (p = 0.04), respectively, in all patients, 86.4, and 13.6% (p = 0.04), respectively, in patients with severe preeclampsia and 98 and 0% in controls. The frequency of full methylated lncRNA MEG3 was 14.3% in early-onset preeclampsia and 2.8% in late-onset preeclampsia (p = 0.12). Patients with PE had significantly higher levels of liver biomarkers (including ALT, AST, ALP, and total bilirubin) and lower PLT counts compared to healthy pregnant women.
Conclusion
The present study suggests the presence of hypermethylation status of lncRNA MEG3 in preeclampsia that might contribute to the pathogenesis and development of preeclampsia. Also, Keap1 rs11085735 polymorphism might be involved in the risk of preeclampsia.

Abstract
Background & Objective To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphisms, as well as the serum levels of IGF-1, insulin, and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). The serum biochemical parameters and the genotypes of IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T were detected by using appropriate kits and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods, respectively. Results The frequencies of IGF-1 and the MTHFR polymorphisms were not significantly different comparing patients and controls. The serum level of IGF-1 was 179.8±72.8 µg/L in AV patients compared to 164.6±63.7 µg/L in controls (P=0.056). The serum level of insulin in female patients was significantly higher than controls. The HOMA was 3.54±5.6 in patients compared to 1.16±1.4 (P<0.001) in controls. Significantly higher levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected in female patients than controls. However, the level of estradiol was significantly lower in female patients than in controls. In females, the presence of the MTHFR T allele was associated with significantly higher levels of FBS and LDL-C, as well as a significantly lower level of estradiol compared to those carriers of the C allele. Conclusion We found the absence of an association between IGF-1 and MTHFR polymorphisms with the risk of AV. However, increased insulin, IGF-1, and HOMA levels in AV patients indicated the effect of insulin and insulin resistance in the risk of AV and its severity.

Association between CYP19A<G rs700518 Polymorphism with Acne Vulgaris and its Severity: Influence on Sex Hormones Level. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE 2019; 8:162-168. [PMID: 32215267 DOI: 10.22088/ijmcm.bums.8.2.162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2019] [Accepted: 07/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common skin disease that causes physical and psychological problems for the affected individual. In addition to systemic changes in hormone levels, overproduction of local steroids, especially androgens are associated with AV. Cytochrome (CYP) 19 is involved in the synthesis of estrogens. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of CYP19A <G rs700518 variants on sex hormones level and the risk of AV. In this case-control study, 181 patients with AV and 144 healthy individuals from Western Iran were investigated. The CYP19 variants were detected by PCR-RFLP method. The frequency of GG genotype in all patients (27.1%) was significantly higher than the controls (10.4%, P<0.001), which increased the relative risk of AV by 1.96 times. Also, the presence of this genotype was associated with 1.5-fold (P=0.005), 1.89-fold (P=0.011) and 3.33-fold (P=0.019) increased risk of mild, moderate and severe AV, respectively. A significantly higher serum level of estradiol was observed in women in the presence of AA genotype (107.3±72.1 pg/ml) in comparison with GG genotype (73.2±58.8 pg/ml) (P=0.009). Our study demonstrated that the GG genotype of CYP19 rs700518 polymorphism increased the risk of AV and the severity of the disease, and also was associated with lower levels of estradiol in females. Significantly decreased serum level of sex hormone-binding globulin in women with AV in comparison with healthy individuals could be related to increasing level of androgen that was observed in women with AV.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a key circulating enzyme converting angiotensin (Ang) I to the vasoactive peptide Ang II. The exact role of ACE insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism (rs106180) in psoriasis is not clear. We aimed to examine whether the ACE I/D and Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166 C-polymorphisms (rs106165), lipid profile, and stress oxidative are associated with susceptibility to psoriasis. One hundred patients with psoriasis and 100 sex- and age-matched unrelated healthy controls were recruited for this case-control study. ACE I/D and AT1R A1166 C polymorphisms were identified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism, respectively, malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected by the high-performance liquid chromatography, serum arylesterase (ARE) activity of paraoxonase and catalase activities were detected by the spectrophotometry, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and vascular adhesion protein (VAP)-1 were measured by ELISA. The presence of C allele of AT1R A1166 C and I allele of ACE considerably increased the risk of psoriasis by 6.42-fold (P < 0.001). The distribution of II-genotype of ACE was significantly higher in psoriasis patients than in control group and increased the risk of disease by 3.11-times (P = 0.023). The higher levels of MDA in patients and the higher activity of SOD, ARE, and CAT was observed in healthy controls with I/D+I/I-genotype of ACE I/D. This study for the first time demonstrated that the ACE I/D and AT1R A 1166 C genes polymorphisms robustly increases the risk of developing psoriasis in population from west of Iran. In addition, these individuals had significantly higher VAP-1 and MDA concentration and lower enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant-status, suggesting that psoriatic patients carrying C allele of AT1R1166 polymorphism may be more susceptible to cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction compared with A allele.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus as the most prevalent metabolic disease is a multifactorial disease which is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. In this systematic review, we assessed the association between genetic variants and diabetes/its complications in studies with Iranian populations. METHODS Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Persian web databases were systematically searched up to January 2014. The search terms were "gene," "polymorphism," "diabetes," and "diabetic complications"; nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, foot ulcer, and CAD (coronary artery diseases); and Persian equivalents. Animal studies, letters to editor, and in vitro studies were excluded. RESULTS Out of overall 3029 eligible articles, 88 articles were included. We found significant association between CTLA-4, IL-18, VDR, TAP2, IL-12, and CD4 genes and T1DM, HNFα and MODY, haptoglobin, paraoxonase, leptin, TCF7L2, calreticulin, ERα, PPAR-γ2, CXCL5, calpain-10, IRS-1 and 2, GSTM1, KCNJ11, eNOS, VDR, INSR, ACE, apoA-I, apo E, adiponectin, PTPN1, CETP, AT1R, resistin, MMP-3, BChE K, AT2R, SUMO4, IL-10, VEGF, MTHFR, and GSTM1 with T2DM or its complications. DISCUSSION We found some controversial results due to heterogeneity in ethnicity and genetic background. We thought genome wide association studies on large number of samples will be helpful in identifying diabetes susceptible genes as an alternative to studying individual candidate genes in Iranian populations.

Abstract
Background: There are inconsistent reports related to the role of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its renal complications.
Objectives: To identify the association between AT1R A1166C variants with the risk of T2DM and also with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Patients and Methods: In a case-control study, the AT1R A1166C polymorphism was detected in 135 T2DM patients with and without DN and in 98 healthy subjects from Western Iran. The genotypes of AT1R A1166C polymorphism were detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.
Results: The frequencies of AT1R A1166C genotypes and alleles were not significantly difference between patients with and without DN and controls. The frequencies of rare allele of 1166 C were 10%, 16.5%, 15.9% and 15.3% in micro-, macro- and normo-albuminuric patients and in healthy individuals, respectively (
P
> 0.05). The systolic blood pressure and serum creatinine level in DN patients were significantly higher in carriers of AT1R CC compared to carriers of AT1R AA genotype. In the presence of uncontrolled hyperglycemia (HbA1c > 7.5%), there was a trend toward increased risk of macro-albuminuria in carriers of AC+CC genotype (OR=3.66, [95% CI: 0.81-16.58],
P
= 0.092).
Conclusions: Our study indicated the absence of an association between AT1R A1166C polymorphism with the risk of T2DM and DN. It seems in carriers of AT1R C allele systolic blood pressure and serum creatinine level to be higher compared to the A allele carriers.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the role of amino acid substitution variants Q192R and C698T in the development of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in a Saudi male population. Methods: This case-control study was carried out in 200 Saudi male individuals: 100 patients with G6PD deficiency, and 100 control subjects collected between July and August 2011 in the Taif region of Saudi Arabia. A total of 2100 male Saudi individuals were screened by a fluorescence spot test, and 100 with G6PD deficiency were selected. Two common variants PON1 (rs662) and C5L2 (rs149572881) were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results: The results showed that the R allele and QR genotype were associated with the Q192R polymorphism in PON1 (R versus Q odds ratio [OR], 1.72; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.1-2.6; p=0.01; and QR versus QQ: OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.1-3.6; p=0.02). All the C698T genotypes and allele frequencies in C5L2 were almost similar in both the cases and controls (CT versus CC: OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 0.3-11.4; p=0.40; and T versus C: OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 0.3-11.1; p=0.41). Conclusions: These findings suggest the association of PON1 with G6PD deficiency in the Saudi male population studied herein. Future studies, including correlation analyses between the clinical features and genotypes in populations of different ethnicities, are warranted to confirm the disease association with these genetic mutations.

Abstract
We aimed to scrutinize the extent to which single amino acid substitutions in the MTHFR and factor V Leiden (FVL) genes affect the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women of South Indian descendant. This case-control study was implemented once the ethical approval has been obtained. Overall, 237 women were recruited in this study: 137 had been diagnosed with GDM and the remaining 100 women were used as normal controls or non-GDM. The diagnosis of GDM was confirmed with biochemical analysis, i.e., GCT and oral glucose tolerance tests. Five milliliters of peripheral blood was collected and used for biochemical and molecular analyses. DNA was isolated, and genotyping for MTHFR (C677T) and FVL (G1691A) mutations was performed using PCR-RFLP. FVL (G1691A) locus was not polymorphic in the investigated sample. There was no significant difference in the allele and genotype frequencies of C677T polymorphism between GDM and non-GDM women (p = 0.8892).

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Little is known about the concomitant presence of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (rs4646994) D allele and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) (+405G/C; rs2010963) G allele on the susceptibility of coronary artery disease (CAD). Here we examined the hypothesis that ACE-D and VEGF-G alleles act synergistically to increase the severity of CAD in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS The VEGF (rs2010963) and ACE (rs4646994) genotypes were detected by polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR, respectively in 510 T2DM patients undergoing their first coronary angiography. Diabetic patients were classified as T2DM patients with and without CAD (control). RESULTS The crude odds ratio (OR) for the presence of CAD in ID+DD and D allele carriers were 1.98 (p=0.01) and 1.55 (p=0.001), respectively. Also, adjusted ORs in the presence of normolipidemia and the absence of history of hypertension for the risk of CAD in the either ACE(rs4646994) D allele or VGEF(rs2010963)-G alleles were 2.08 (p=0.004) and 1.75 (p=0.024), respectively. In addition, the concomitant presence of the ACE-D and VEGF-G alleles increased the risk of CAD 2.25-fold (p=0.043). CONCLUSION Our results indicated that ACE(rs4646994)-D allele alone and in the presence of VEGF(rs2010963)-G allele can be an important independent risk factor for susceptibility of CAD in T2DM patients even after correcting for conventional risk factors in a population of Iran.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to explore the association of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T polymorphism with development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Three groups were recruited during 2007-2011: 232 normal controls, 185 type 2 diabetics without nephropathy, and 407 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy. The ACE I/D and MTHFR C677T polymorphisms were examined using PCR and PCR-RFLP methods. We found no significant association of the ACE I/D polymorphism with diabetic nephropathy in genotype, allele, dominant, and recessive models. We observed a significant association of MTHFR C677T with development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetics. The MTHFR C677T polymorphism plays a significant role in predisposition of renal insufficiency in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) is a subgroup of periodontal diseases among 20-35 years age group adults. Several studies have reported the association of interleukin-1β gene polymorphism with periodontal diseases among different populations. The present study aimed at investigating the presence of IL-1β polymorphism in GAP patients in Iran. Further, the presence of IL-1β(+3954) gene polymorphism was evaluated in the GAP patients (n=26) and healthy individuals (n=26). All three genotypes (A1A1 [56%], A1A2 [28%], and A2A2 [16%]) were observed in healthy individuals, whereas only A1A1 (38.5%) and A2A2 (61.5%) were the genotypes observed in the patients. There was a significant positive association between distribution of IL-1β genotypes and the risk of periodontitis disease (p=0.017). Further, there was a significant positive association between probing pocket depth and IL-1β genotypes of patients (p=0.014). However, no meaningful correlation between genotype-clinical attachment loss and genotype bleeding on probing with the risk of GAP (p=0.418, p=0.819, respectively) was found. In conclusion, findings of the present study demonstrate a positive association between IL-1β gene polymorphism and risk of periodontitis disease.

Abstract
CONTEXT Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene encodes ACE, a key component of renin angiotensin system (RAS), plays an important role in blood pressure homeostasis by generating the vasoconstrictor peptide angiotensin II. EVIDENCE ACQUISITIONS Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Google Scholar, Pubmed (NLM), LISTA (EBSCO) and Web of Science have been searched. RESULTS The presence of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism affects the plasma level of ACE. ACE DD genotype is associated with the highest systemic and renal ACE levels compared with the lowest ACE activity in carriers of II genotype. CONCLUSIONS In this review focus has been performed on the study of ACE I/D polymorphism in various populations and its influence on the risk of onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Also, association between ACE I/D polymorphism and response to ACE inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor antagonists will be reviewed. Further, synergistic effect of this polymorphism and variants of some genes on the risk of development of diabetic nephropathy will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) and angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C polymorphisms with the risk of preeclampsia and lipid peroxidation in preeclamptic women from Western Iran. METHODS One hundred and ninety-eight preeclamptic women (128 women with mild and 70 with severe forms) and 100 age- and parity-matched controls were enrolled in this case-control study. RESULTS The presence of D allele of ACE was associated with a 1.8-fold increased risk of preeclampsia (p=0.002) in total preeclamptic patients. The frequency of AT1R AC+CC genotypes was higher in mild preeclamptic women (32%) compared to controls (27.2%) (p>0.05). In mild preeclamptic women with ID genotype, the level of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was significantly decreased compared to those with II genotype. Also, there was a trend toward increasing malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreasing TAC levels in mild and severe preeclamptic women with AT1R AA through CC genotypes. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress are involved in the development of preeclampsia that might be influenced by polymorphism in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system genes.

Abstract
AIM The present study investigated the influence of insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism of the angiotensin II-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in combination with endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) G894T polymorphism on the predisposition to diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, the ACE and eNOS polymorphisms were genotyped in 72 microalbuminuric, 68 macroalbuminuric and 72 normoalbuinuric type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from Western Iran. RESULTS The presence of eNOS T or ACE D allele was not associated with increased risk of macroalbuminuria (odds ratio (OR) = 1.36, P = 0.27 and OR = 1.6, P = 0.062, respectively). However, in the presence of both alleles there was a trend towards increased risk of macroalbuminuria (fivefold, P = 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study indicates that the concomitant presence of both ACE D and eNOS T alleles tends to be associated with an elevation risk of macroalbuminuria compared with the presence of each polymorphism alone. This risk could be attributed to the increasing activity of ACE and angiotensin II level in the presence of D allele and decreasing NO production in the presence of T allele accelerating diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Background and objective: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene contains either an insertion (I) allele or a deletion (D) allele forming three potential genotypes: II, ID and DD. The D allele or DD genotype has been reported to be associated with higher plasma ACE level. An assessment of the association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) susceptibility in children is still controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and the onset of INS. Method: A predefined literature search and selection of eligible relevant studies were performed to collect data from electronic databases, and eligible investigations were synthesized using the meta-analysis method. Results: Nine investigations were identified for the analysis of association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and INS risk in children, including six in Asians, one study for Caucasians and two for Africans. There was positive association between D allele or DD genotype and INS susceptibility in Asians (OR = 1.75, p = 0.01; OR = 2.01, p = 0.02), but not for Caucasian children and Africans (for Caucasians, D: OR=1.35, p = 0.27, DD: OR = 0.95, p = 0.91; for Africans, D: OR = 1.70, p = 0.56, DD: OR = 1.60, p = 0.73). Furthermore, II homozygous seemed to play a positive role against INS onset for Asians (OR = 0.59, p = 0.02), but the link between II genotype and INS risk was not observed in Caucasian children and Africans (Caucasians: OR = 0.31, p = 0.06; Africans: OR = 0.50, p = 0.59). Conclusions: D allele and DD homozygous might become significant genetic molecular markers for INS susceptibility in Asian children, but the association was not observed in Caucasians or Africans. However, the conclusion from our study cannot be sustained and more investigations on larger sample in different populations are required to further clarify the role of D allele or DD homozygous in the onset of INS in difference races.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to examine the influence of interaction between polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C with angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism on the risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN). In a case control study using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)- and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), the presence of three polymorphisms in 140 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with nephropathy including patients with micro- and macro-albuminuria and 72 patients with normoalbuminuria from Western Iran were investigated. In the presence of both MTHFR 677 T and ACE D alleles, there was a trend toward increased risk of DN 2.68-fold (p=0.054). The possession of both MTHFR 677 T and ACE D alleles increased the risk of macro-albuminuria four times (p=0.035). The concomitant presence of both MTHFR 1298 C and ACE D alleles increased the risk of macro-albuminuria 7.8-fold (p=0.012). In addition, the risk of progression from micro- to macro-albuminuria in the presence of both alleles tended to be increased (4.1-fold, p=0.09). Our study for the first time demonstrated a synergistic effect between ACE I/D with either MTHFR C677T or A1298C polymorphism on the increased risk of DN among patients with T2DM. We found that MTHFR 1298 C strongly interacts with the ACE D allele and augments the risk of DN in our population.

Abstract
We have previously shown that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene D allele is an independent risk factor for early onset coronary artery disease (CAD). Little is known about the concomitant presence of the ACE gene D allele and paraoxonase (PON1) codon 192 arginine (Arg) on the severity of CAD. Regarding the high rate of CAD among Iranians the aim of present study was to examine the hypothesis of synergistic effects between ACE-D and PON1-Arg alleles on predisposition and the severity of CAD in our population. The PON1 192 and ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) genotypes were detected by PCR-RFLP and PCR, respectively in 414 individuals undergoing their first coronary angiography. Patients were placed into one of two groups: CAD and control without CAD or diabetes. We mentioned the synergistic effects of both genes and not ACE gene alone is a risk factor for CAD. We found that PON1 Arg 192 and ACE D allele act synergistically to increase the risk of CAD (OR 1.3, P = 0.044). Our results showed a significant correlation between the possession of both PON1 192 Arg and the ACE D allele and the extent of CAD in CAD patients and CAD subjects without diabetes, represented by the increased frequency of three-vessel disease with OR 2.7, P = 0.046; χ(2) = 4, P = 0.046 and OR 2.4, P = 0.051; χ(2) = 3.8, P = 0.051, respectively. We found that PON1 Arg 192 and ACE D alleles act synergistically to increase the risk of CAD in CAD patients and CAD subjects without diabetes from west of Iran, who have high frequency of three-vessel disease. Our data suggest that PON1 192 Arg and the ACE D allele in combination with each other can be important independent risk factor for severity of CAD in patients carrying both PON1 192 Arg and the ACE D allele in a west population of Iran.

Abstract
The Matrix metalloproteinase-9 functional promoter polymorphism 1562C>T may be considered an important genetic determinant of early-onset coronary artery disease (ECAD). In this study, association between MMP-9 1562C>T allele with plasma MMP-9 activity, homocysteine and lipid-lipoproteins level and ECAD in Iranian subjects was investigated. This case-control study consisted of 53 ECAD patients (age < 55 years) and unrelated late-onsets CAD (age>70 years) who angiographically had at least 50% stenosis. MMP-9 1562C>T polymorphism was detected by PCRRFLP, plasma MMP-9 activity, serum lipid and homocysteine levels were determined by gelatin gel zymography, enzyme assay and by HPLC, respectively. The presence of MMP-9 1562C>T allele was found to be associated with ECAD (OR=3.2, P=0.001). The ECAD patients with MMP-9 1562C>T allele had higher MMP-9 activity (P=0.001), LDL-C (P=0.045), TC (P=0.02) and homocysteine (P=0.01) levels than the LCAD subjects. MMP-9 1562C>T allele is a risk factor for ECAD. The carriers of this allele have high levels of MMP-9 activity, LDL-C, TC and homocysteine (P=0.01), thus, are more likely to develop myocardial infarction and CAD at young age (less than 55 years).

Abstract
The role of the paraoxonase (PON1) codon 192 polymorphism [glutamine (Q)/arginine (R)] in coronary artery disease (CAD) is controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the PON1 gene polymorphism is an independent risk factor for severity of coronary artery disease in patients from west of Iran. The PON1-Arg-192 genotypes were detected by PCR-RFLP in 414 individuals undergoing their first coronary angiography. Patients were placed into one of two groups: CAD and control without CAD or diabetes. The frequency of PON1-Arg-192 allele was significantly higher in the CAD (23.4 vs. 16%, P = 0.032) than in the control group and there was a higher risk of developing CAD (OR = 1.6, P = 0.02). In addition, this difference remained significant after adjustment for without history of diabetes (OR = 1.47, P = 0.048), presence of normolipidemia and absence of history of blood pressure (OR = 1.4, P = 0.05). This result indicated PON1-Arg-192 allele is a risk factor of CAD also when correcting for conventional risk factors. We found a significant association between the PON1-Arg-192 genotype (QR + RR) and the extent of CAD in CAD patients and CAD subjects without diabetes, represented by the increased frequency of three-vessel disease with OR = 1.49, P = 0.046; χ2 = 3.82, P = 0.048 and OR = 1.46, P = 0.05; χ2 = 3.48, P = 0.051, respectively. The CAD patients carrying PON1-Arg-192 genotype (QR + RR) had lower plasma HDL-C level (P = 0.019) and higher plasma LDL-C(P = 0.01) and TG(P = 0.05). Our results indicated that PON1-Arg-192 allele can be important independent risk factor of CAD in a west population of Iran, with carriers of PON1-Arg-192 having an increased frequency of three-vessel disease and also having a distinct plasma lipids profile. Larger collaborative studies are needed to confirm these results.
